Delta Rho Sorority Incorporated was founded on July 1, 2004 and incorporated in the State of Florida on July 15, 2004.
It all began when four (4) women from various cultural backgrounds, levels of education, and with different professional aspirations came together with an ideal to create an organization that defined true Sisterhood; a secret society for women; a Sorority. This organization would be comprised of mature, professional women who were 25 years and older, established in their lives and had something positive to offer their Sorors and their community.
These four women spent several weeks researching various Greek names and finally it came to them, Delta Rho. Delta meaning four elements and Rho meaning Creative Feminine Power; they put it together and came up with the “Four Elements of Creative Feminine Power”; Delta Rho Sorority, Incorporated. The number FOUR represents completion, stability, and predictability; it is the representation of all earthly things; the number four also represents the sovereignty of God's creative works.
The FOUR ELEMENTS are air, fire, water and earth also known as Shawna K. Clark, Renee G. Ellis, TaCreacia S. Blunt and Barbara A. Lott.
The four founders worked long and hard to establish principles and landmarks that represented what they stood for and what each future Soror would exemplify; Sisterhood, Service, Diversity and Professionalism.
The founders decided on the colors Ruby (a shade of red) and Pure White. Ruby represents strength, power and determination and pure white represents safety, innocence and purity. They chose to adopt these colors for several reasons; these colors are the same colors (red and white) as "Black Women of Essence, Inc" (www.bwoe.org) a community service organization in which, they initially met through. They felt that by adopting the same colors of the organization, they would show their gratitude, for without it, they may not have met and Delta Rho Sorority, Inc. may not be in existence.
March 18 - 20, 2005 marked another milestone for Delta Rho Sorority, Incorporated. The first "Membership Intake Process" of Delta Rho Sorority, Inc. was held in Orlando, Florida. At the end of the weekend, Delta Rho Sorority, Incorporated welcomed/crossed 6 (six) women known as "Genesis of Excellence" into the Sisterhood of Delta Rho Sorority, Incorporated.
The Sorors of Delta Rho Sorority, Inc. are dedicated to community service, uplifting youth and professionally representing Delta Rho Sorority, Inc.
